Hour 1: As the latest iPad fever proves, many of us love having the latest and greatest in everything. But why are we so compelled to constantly possess the next big thing?

Good show. As I was learning to ride a unicycle this weekend I was thinking about how I need to put similar effort into topics that interest me instead of just skimming news articles. A while back I was doing a lot of thinking about the media and the information we consume and then you had the Information Diet author on.
